The True Crime Comedy Podcasts all about robbery, fraud, and those who practice it. Each week, I bring on an amazing guest. Ooh, I scammed them. What? I can talk to you for an hour.

Meet the disruptors who are setting today's trends and discover those who are building what's next. People like Sebastian Yatra. Life is on the other side of fear. Introducing Global Flow with me, Dramos, a new podcast where I sit down with disruptors
Starting point is 00:01:15 across music, entertainment, business, and tech to break down what they're building, get the blueprint to how they got there, all while trying to figure out what's coming next. Listen to Global Flow on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, what's up?
Starting point is 00:01:31 I'm Tony Gonzalez. And I'm October Gonzalez. But you can call me Toby. We want you to join us on our new podcast, No Safe Words with October and Tony Gonzalez. We get real about marriage, parenthood, sex, divorce, and all the nitty-gritty stuff we all think about, but just don't say out loud.
Starting point is 00:01:46 You're probably just going to be some rich guy and he's going to whisk you away. This is awkward. Listen to No Safe Words with October and Tony Gonzalez on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or, wherever you get your podcast. Do you love golf?
Starting point is 00:02:01 If so, you should listen to Three Put Bogey. I'm Chuck Bryant from the Stuff You Should Know podcast. And I'm Adam Pranica from a couple of embarrassing hit Star Trek podcasts. And each week on Three Put Bogie, we're going to get into the bunker and get to the bottom of what is just so alluring and frustrating about the most beautiful game in the world. So whether you're someone who pipes it on the driving range
Starting point is 00:02:21 that freezes up on the T-box. Or misses that three-foot putt when everything's on the line. Whether to laugh about it, with you on three putt bogey, a podcast about two mid-handicappers, one great shot, and the three-put that spoils it all. You can listen to it now on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So back to the Knicks, if you don't mind. Do you feel like Cat is the eye man out in this situation? Cat has the leverage, and if I opt into my player option, which I don't want to do, I'm going to put you in the second ever anyway, James Dolan.
Starting point is 00:02:56 So let's get an extension done. Or you're going to have to come up off me by the trade deadline. Where would he go? Who's going to pay $2?7. Not somewhere desirable. Who's going to pay $2?000? It's going to be real. Not the Big Apple. They could flip it for AD. Now, intriguing. Well, shit, AD won't an extension.
Starting point is 00:03:17 He sure does. Yeah, probably not A. So they did not even close, huh? This is the reports are the Knicks are trying to give him four years 200 mil. Cass said, I want a little bit more than that. I can't shave 76 mil off of it. Look at everything I've done for the city.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Imagine Imagine winning the ring and right now you're thinking about that monion. So it's cat if you don't get the 276 here, I want to get it from somebody. I'm going to get rewarded for what I am.
Starting point is 00:03:55 I'm a number one option who sacrificed that title to win the championship. It didn't hurt Kevin Durant and Curry when they did it. It didn't hurt Duane Wade and LeBron when they did it, they was maxing out.
Starting point is 00:04:11 It didn't hurt Luca in LeBron. Do you put Cat on that same tier as all those people you just mentioned? I'm a champion. Jay and Durr is all NBA Bigger. A championship superstar, because he gets to have this complaint. He gets to have this. I'm a superstar and I was, and I'm a champion.
Starting point is 00:04:35 And according to his father, he bypassed Jimmy Bow. is like Pippin going to ask for the problem is they're going to say hey you didn't win the championship when you was the superstar there's all ways down pits falls in this in this fucking
Starting point is 00:04:49 basketball history shit time you gotta be realistic with ourselves too what's that like Pippin going to ask for Jordan money is I mean he just Pippen didn't get Tony Kookew coach
Starting point is 00:05:02 money that's what Tony Kookew coach money until he came up He said I want $32 million a year. I want all of it. Whatever the cap is, I give it to me. Huh? 30%.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Yeah. 27.4 pay cut. But you love New York. On the chip you already won. Hey, this is what I've been telling you. You're talking about the taxes. This is what I've been telling you. I'm tired of this bullshit where I'm having to see.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Players take these pay cuts to help these billionaire owners. But, oh, that's just what it is with the caps and the aprons and all that shit. This is what it was designed for. It's not, as a fan of you guys getting your bread. You know why the salary cap exists? This is this team called Boston Celtics. Now, no one's ever going to question the championships and the legacies of these guys,
Starting point is 00:05:57 but you can't hold them to the standard because they inherited winning. This is no knock on Bill Russell, but the year he got drafted. On the time, team, there's three all-stars, right? There's two all-NBA first-team players. On Bill Russell team?
Starting point is 00:06:20 Before he got drafted. So the night before he got drafted, there's three all-stars already. Two first-team all-NBA. And then MVP vote, one was in third and one was in fifth. Okay? Now, listen. Bill Russell was an original Boston? Listen, and then they got, and then they drafted the number one pick.
Starting point is 00:06:40 All right. Now this year, Bill Russell's first year, this is what that team produced. They produced three all-stars, one MVP, two first-team MVP, I mean two first-team all-NBA players, and a rookie of the year. And guess what? Bill Russell wasn't none of them. Damn, they got... He wasn't even the rookie of the year. Who was rookie of the year?
Starting point is 00:07:11 The number one pick. Oh, you know he was white, though. What I'm saying is he was the number one, the number one pick one rookie in the year. Bill Russell was the number two pick on another team, and they already had made a deal. So Boston Celtics already had the big three. Then they drafted the number one pick and the number two pick on the same team. Who the fuck is beating that if you only get better in the draft and trades? Damn.
Starting point is 00:07:36 That's why they won so many championships. And then everybody else, just trade me your player. Here's some cash at their table. So all they kept doing is just add into this dynasty. It's a different time. Now, imagine there's only fucking 10 teams at the time, so you're not beating them. So then we should look at the most. Bill Russell's legacy is built off of that.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Then you got a guy like, but that's in New York, they went one championship and we're ready to get up off you. That's the difference. You know what's so funny? That's the difference. Bill wants to run. The organizations matter. The ownership matters. The GMs matter.
Starting point is 00:08:19 All that shit matters. It does. Have you ever seen three? I've never seen the history. So a guy like Trace McGregor who's in Orlando who can't get past the first round, we now label him. The narrative is he's a loser
Starting point is 00:08:33 because he didn't play for a Boston Celtics. He didn't play for the L.A. Lakers. Chicago Bulls. He didn't play for the L.A. Lakers. That's the difference And that's the part that gets Laven up. All he talked about
Starting point is 00:08:46 Who's the winner He just talked to go there He just talked his shit Why he was up and lost That's all he did Everybody can't go to them three Organizations, bro It's only so many roster spots
Starting point is 00:08:58 Everybody can't go there We just talked about the wall Half of these niggas is Lakers The top 50 Come on In the top of that shit. He's not a loser, but we got to stop. But he's still not talked about amongst the
Starting point is 00:09:16 greats with championships. With championships. When he made his statement about, oh, if I did, if I was in place it, they dogged them for. But it's a reality of what he's saying. No, it's not. If AI was with Tim, we all know if AI's with Tim Duncanney winning championship, of course we know that.
Starting point is 00:09:35 You don't get those, we don't get those opportunities. Everybody, every organization, ain't trying to win. We're talking about it now. They went one championship. It's over. But if they pay this money and then pay extra to go get more pieces, now we're talking and let's say they hypothetically win
Starting point is 00:09:52 two more down the line. How we talk about Kat, how we talk about Jalen Brunson and their legacy completely changes from how we talk about them today. That's the difference. Man. Cat get two more ring. It's now we'll shield. Where we rank Cat amongst the big?
Starting point is 00:10:08 I got three. But we're not saying that right Now, they're not even attempting to increase his legacy. All right, we want one. We're done. Let's move on. Let's go figure something else out. Figure something out. We'll get somebody else.
Starting point is 00:10:18 But when Kat's career is over, we're going to look at Kat as the individual, not the motherfuckas he played for. And he won. He got to be up there. He got to. He is. Will he be? Would they have him in front of Carmeloan and Charles Barkley?
Starting point is 00:10:35 No. Time until. Are they going to have him in front of Patrick Ewing? No. What I can say is this is a championship level show. And time tells, and I'm telling you, I've been looking through time. Bill Russell got three MVP and was on second team, All-NBA. You hear that shit?
Starting point is 00:10:55 That shit. This is a shit that they'll tell you. Three MVP, he's three MVP, and he was second on the all-N-B-A. He wasn't on first team. Never in history. Three times. Wasn't allowed to sit in the front of the bus either. Give us a different time.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Come on, it's a black man. It was a different time. Fuck. Another black man is on first team. Who? Well, man, what did you talk about? Fulfurgo happens in 50, 30-something. Exotic.
Starting point is 00:11:19 That was a rate. I don't know if it was it, was it, 56, 57, one of them years where we'd never hit this, never be like this to get a history. You got to start talking about them old, nigg. Hey, like, listen. Hey, you can. Hey, second place, third place, fourth place, fifth place, and the MVP race, if you look at things, that's, think of that shit is.
Starting point is 00:11:39 It wasn't for us. bills it wouldn't be not a deal fourth place average 38 let's just say without bill
Starting point is 00:11:47 there can be no guilt yeah it's wonderful for bill wouldn't be no gill so you can't disrespect them like that
Starting point is 00:11:52 I'm not disrepresent I'm just saying history no to know what they're doing now
Starting point is 00:11:57 you got to go back to see why they're doing it why are you using these words and languages when it doesn't
Starting point is 00:12:05 work here like if you did a top 75 why are you not racing everybody and redo it. Like there's always a list. Everything we do, there's a list.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Like, right, the number one player. So if that's Jordan up there, like, and then this is 50. This last person, next one, he's gone. Right? Just like a fucking race, right? Top 10 is always moved because people got faster. People got better. So these lists, we do it with our stats.
Starting point is 00:12:32 We do it with everything, like scoring titles, right? The most points. It ain't, it ain't will no more. I mean, it ain't a cream. it's a bond everybody's shifting why they're not doing that amongst the ranking why is it grandfathered in the first 50
Starting point is 00:12:47 right those were the time like when they do the next 100 it starts from the beginning there's no guarantee there's no read to do we're going to do the top 75 year grandfather then what if somebody made it in it let's just say dame
Starting point is 00:13:01 what if he never played again never did nothing and he only had the six all the six western names everybody else is looking They're like, wait, hold on. I got that. You put these guys in on the curve. But I got that right now.
Starting point is 00:13:16 I'm not in the top of 75. That's what a lot of people in history will do. But they did that on the curve thinking, okay, he's going to get 9, 10, so it will make sense 25 years from now. So this is just erase everybody. Redo it.

Starting point is 00:14:07 People like Sebastian Yatra. Life is on the other side of fear. Introducing Global Flow, a new podcast where I sit down with disruptors across music, entertainment, business, and tech to break down what they're building, get the blueprint to how they got there, all while trying to figure out what's coming next. They'll share their stories, including not just the winds that we all see, but the moments they had to persevere through when everyone counted them out. People like the co-founder of Buddy's Coffee, Rachel, who quickly went from being a New York Times success story to facing eviction. Being, you know, deemed a successful business by, like, you know, I mean, so New York Times, like, as, like, a Puerto Rican girl from New York who didn't finish college. He was like, I was like, holy crap.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Like, I'm finally doing something. Like, maybe this is all working out.

We get real about marriage, parenthood, sex, divorce, and all the nitty-gritty stuff we all think about, but just don't say out loud. I hate that job. You're probably just going to meet with some rich guy
Starting point is 00:15:26 and he's going to whisk you away, and I'll never see you again. Oh. Well, this is awkward. Would you say a D-less actor? D? I don't even know there's such thing as D. No, no.
Starting point is 00:15:38 I don't know. I mean, like... I can't even get on the C-list. Like, I'm not even average. I'm not even passing. I'm failing. Listen to No Safe Words with October and Tony Gonzalez, part of My Culture Podcast Network. Available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. You broke me. You do not deserve happiness.
Starting point is 00:15:57 I'm Andrea Gunning. On this season of betrayal, we meet Carl Bryant. Carl thought he was living a normal, drama-free life until the messages started. You will have hell to pay. For nine months, someone infiltrated every aspect of Carl's life, threatening to ruin him. Cyberstalking, swatting, extortion, impersonation. And then the text threats escalated. Someone's not going to make it out of this alive.
Starting point is 00:16:30 This apartment. It's playing out in real life, not just on the phone. Every piece of evidence pointed to one man. But every piece of evidence was a lie. He was not going to stop unless we stopped him. Listen to Betrayal Season 6 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everybody, it's me, W. Compte Bell. This season of my podcast who's with me, I speak with two-time Emmy winner and weirdly one of my best friends, Kevin Avery.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Everything up to that point, Bill Gew as a comic. us going on the road doing Battle Mountain and Ely Yeah, you took me, you were one of the first people took me on the road, which is funny because at the time I was like, I don't know if I like this guy. With rapper, actor, David Diggs. The jump off for me was Hamilton, and it was the most popular thing in a very long time.
Starting point is 00:17:26 But it was still, for me, it was me and my friends making something dumb. Bruce Lee's daughter and Brandon Lee's sister, Shannon Lee. Back to your initial point of stewarding my father's legacy, and giving my energy to that. You're lending your life to stewarding somebody else's life. Listen to Who's With Me with me with
Starting point is 00:17:47 W. Kumabelle on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. They only do that with the top 20 or top 10? They just add 25 more. 75. Top 75 states top 75. But they do put like LeBron and LeCobie's in, right? Yeah, they put them in.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Their resume's already went in. But like, so like the White Howard, Clay, Crazy Dwight. They right now, they have to fight with everybody. 75 to 100. Here it goes, so yeah, it's basically 75 to 100 instead of just... Dwight ain't in the top 75 but George Miking. The Miking drill only.
Starting point is 00:18:24 I shot less than 40% but shot less than 40% They shot 39% from the few people. Less than 40% out there. Imagine you. Who shot 39? George Miken. So he was doing his drill because he was sorry. He was, the Miken drill is because he couldn't make layups.
Starting point is 00:18:37 They're thinking like he and Michael was in here doing this. No, he couldn't make a layup, so he had to work for layers. You got to- He shot 39% from the field being the biggest thing out. You gotta let him be in it though, because they laid the foundation, though. That's why you know everybody would pass. I lay, listen, hey, the people at home people, the people laid my foundation, they can't live him, motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Yeah. Ah! That's not the same. That's not the same, though. That's not the same, though. That's not the same. That's not the same. Let's keep this thing moving.
Starting point is 00:19:10 We got a lot more to get into. Nah, but they're foundation. But first and foremost, I need silence. No, it's history. That's why it's history. Like, got to think what they... Let's keep this thing moving.

Starting point is 00:20:42 He gets here. I'm up, Ron. You're on that shit today. You're on that road, deal. Ro will make you broke. What? You know? We're working out some things.
Starting point is 00:20:52 You know? You know, I'm tired of seeing you. I'm tired of seeing you. It's just an omulation time. She's calling me. Roe will make it growing. Speaking of growing. Speaking of growing, let's talk about the Minnesota Timberwolves and the growth of their roster.
Starting point is 00:21:13 So the Y Amber Wolves made their preseason debut Monday night in Milwaukee. Road on cold, says Joe. With Ant Man and Lamello Ball sharing the floor together for the first time as teammates, while Minnesota rolled out their starting lineup of Lamello, Ant, Jada McDaniels, Jonathan Camiga, and Rudy Gobert against the Bucks. And it may just be preseasoned. But the wolves are looking ready to do something in the West. Let's take a look at the highlight. If we can, please.
Starting point is 00:21:38 So, started at the tip off. Lamello kicked things off. Those who remember Lamello back in his high school days, the point in half quarter. Now, this shot did not count, but I just put it in here because it should have. Shout out to Lamello. Already on Deming the time to start.
Starting point is 00:21:52 So Lamello's sight, the jerseys look phenomenal. Man. Kaminga got the first bucket for this new look. Wolf Squad, Kamenga signed that $2 million deal, trying to get a big payday. About a Minnesota. Lamello solid in his debut, 11 points, four rebounds,
Starting point is 00:22:06 and three assists in almost 17 minutes of action. Ant Man led the squad with 14 points, 18 minutes. I didn't shoot at his best, but was taking shots nonetheless. Man. While Kaminga added eight points in 14 minutes. The Wolf built a double-digit lead early. Cruz of the win against this Buck squad. Oop.
Starting point is 00:22:26 You see it. It just looked good. Already in the running for my favorite league past team of the season. That's good basketball, man. If it's a wolves game on, I will be watching. Oh, oh. Bones Highland to, Kamenga. Yes.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Come on, man. Busy bones. I like this Wolf Squad. Has Rudy ever had this many losses? Hell no. I tried to tell you. This is probably going to be the best offensive year. It's the big.
Starting point is 00:22:58 So the young squad show right away how dangerous they're going to be this season. In transition, turning defense into offense with the barrage or fast-brace buckets. saw there, Rudy Goldberg, catching lobs. Oh, yeah. Wee, we'll start with you. What's your initial reaction to this new look and very athletic and explosive Timberwolf squad? I mean, that's exactly what we thought was going to happen.
Starting point is 00:23:21 You know, with another dangerous guard is going to be very hard to sit and slap. You have a bunch of shooters. Now you have Rudy Goldberg who know he can get lobs because he knows they're going to pass it to him. him. I mean, we had the old Rudy. He'd be sitting down there. You ain't passing, you know what?
Starting point is 00:23:40 I'm just going to see here in three seconds. But he knows there's a willing passer on the court. I mean, everything you need to compete, they have it, right? They have the dunker. They got defense. They got height. They got length. They got scoring. They got shooting. They got dunkers. You got guys who can run the floor. You know, right now it's how fast can we jail together?
Starting point is 00:24:06 to compete this year to try to win that chip. Because at the end of the day, just like New York, just like OKC won when they won, just like one different won. Toronto that year, we just, the Bucks that year, right? Just as long as we stay healthy at the right time, put ourselves in position, anything can happen once we get to the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Right. They've shown that in the past anyway. I mean, Spurs went to the championship. They didn't think they were. Come on. Right? So it's just, hey, as long as we're clicking at the right time, so let's get familiar with each other and then, you know, make this thing work.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Yep. So how are you looking at this? Why Amber Wolf Squad, you said that was your favorite team, man? Team of choice. Y'all both can't be bullying me on this couch, like... You ain't no fucking, Vic. Yes, I am. They're like...
Starting point is 00:24:59 Is this like, is this, can I sue y'all? Wait, we can't say nothing good about the wolves? No. We all agree we like the wolves. No, man, it's the... We like the wolves every year. We liked the wolves last year. We was going for the wolves last year.
Starting point is 00:25:12 What are you talking about? Talking about no damn wolves. Don't talk about me, motherfucker, the treatment. I get cussed out from here. He's taking my team and shit. It gets me both your team. Man, I've been said I was rocking with the wolves. It can be both your team.
Starting point is 00:25:26 That's my team. Like, if I say that, what's going to happen to me? Nothing. He can say that we both agree. He's going to take it. He's going to take it. He's going to take it. You probably.
Starting point is 00:25:35 You stand up, little my kids. Little my kid, you try. You get this thing and get them to do them crowns, man. Can he go to party seat and get that plastic shit? You know, one of them, just get like $5 for $10, you know what I mean? I guess he's trying to take them. He won't be the one that would argue all the time. And I'm going to get the little, five for ten in the mask, too.
Starting point is 00:25:56 You can buy a little mask. You can put the mask on, too. Come in here, put your little mask on. Give him a little, we got the little George Foreman Grill still in the back. See? There's something about. You know, my kids. You both can like the wolves! I want to be the same.
Starting point is 00:26:10 You want to be the only thing. I want to be the only wolf fin. I'm not getting dragged into any shenanigans, Gil. I had a very, very, very, probably- He has come up. I had a tough little league game last time. Heat advisory. Got the walk off though.
Starting point is 00:26:23 But. Where are to come, man? Where is the green got? I need somebody nice in here. By Danny Green? Danny Green. I don't want to be with y'all too. The fuck I do.
Starting point is 00:26:33 He like to be with y'all too. He like to do. He liked the wolves too. I could take the wolves from Danny. He likes him. You can share the wolves, bro. He can share the wolves. I just thought it was funny than all of a sudden you were with the wolves this shit.
Starting point is 00:26:47 That's what he wanted to bring. He used to be a Laker fan. He pung me on my party. He almost punked me on his team. He's been doing this for a long time. It's shoulder. It wasn't for Draymond being right by my side. He had to win my ass by myself.
Starting point is 00:27:02 This is fucking. You keep coming back. On the left. But yeah, I like the, I think the Wool's... Little McCants. The Whirl's gonna be very exciting, man. And I'm glad that Anten and Jane and Daniels, they're getting the guys, you know, normalized on the team. Even guys like Bone Highland, you love his energy coming in as a, you know, off the bench.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Like, that's the guy that you don't want to see. don't want to see in a summertime, you know, out there on the court. You got to get people like him more comfortable out there. Rudy Goldberg giving him confidence. He shaved the head, you know, got the goatee shaft look. He's trying to be tough. He's like, man, no more chokes. You can't choke somebody got a ball head in a goatee.
Starting point is 00:27:56 I had never seen nobody. Ballhead, goatee get choked? Mr. Clean never got to? Oh, he got to just wear all black. Just coming in the arena We're all black, black Every game He looked tough to the motherfucker
Starting point is 00:28:08 Never seen somebody Ballhead and Goatee It's a strong goatee It's not like a thin one It's a strong A strong one like He grew it out So
Starting point is 00:28:20 And if you shave this And just have this Yeah That's the prison That's the prison one For sure It did life Yeah
Starting point is 00:28:27 So The upper room That team right right there gonna be very exciting. Thank you. That was... A lot of athletic list. Finals, I said it.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Finals. We see it on paper, now we get to see it in action. Definitely some upgrades made across that roster. And man, and... And then I'm glad they're trying to... Didn't play with Kaminga. Put them in starting lineup. Not doing like Portland doing with y'all, not messing around.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Like, making them feel good from the start. There's gonna be some really bad teams. I think there's gonna be some really good ones. I mean, when you think about some of them teams that were good because they were good last year, and then you look at, like, everyone who actually teamed up, and there's really two superstars on these teams. It's like, some of them teams that we think is going to be up there, I don't see. Do you have a particular team in mind that you're thinking about?
Starting point is 00:29:24 Phoenix? You know, it's so funny. Phoenix is a team where... I think I got a point. I hate when they play... A shooting garden. Bro, I hate that shit. I think it's so lazy.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Like, that's some lazy-ass shit. But, yeah, we can't get a point. Just put him at the one. Like, he's not a point guard. For sure. Like, I'm just, like... No creativity. There's just so many...
Starting point is 00:29:50 Lazy-ass shit, man. You can just do it. Fuck it, Kevin. Kevin Durant, you play point. Like, what the fuck? So New York... Twin, you play point. New York can catch a dip.
Starting point is 00:30:04 New York Catch a dip If Cat ain't getting this money And now they're talking about Trading them That's over For sure It just depends on
Starting point is 00:30:14 Who they get for them though I mean To me it sounds like They're not willing to compete Unless everybody takes the pay cut So I imagine everybody but Brunson Hey J.B
Starting point is 00:30:26 Jalen Brunson's sacrifice For y'all So y'all sacrifice for the rest So y'all all sacrifice for him now So we give him his bread He's on SNL, let y'all Let y'all
Starting point is 00:30:35 He's sacrificing for y'all, but we're not going to pay y'all. We're not going to pay y'all his sacrifice. We want y'all to sacrifice more. Was it collective sacrifice? Well, I don't think Kat came in sacrifice. I mean, he was already on the original concert. The original extension, right?
Starting point is 00:30:49 But they didn't get the extension. Nobody got their extension for on J. Who's been paid since Jenner? Bridges, I think, signed a 4-150. Since that? Since that? Since that? Since that?
Starting point is 00:31:00 Let me see. Yeah, that's why he sacrifices. Since that sacrifice? This will make these things possible. When the OG signed this in 2024? Who actually took less money? I mean, who? Because when does his money actually kick in?
Starting point is 00:31:18 Who? Brunce's new deal. Is this the first year of it? So Brunson signed his deal in 2024, but that's when they re-signed OG that same summer to a five-year, $212 million. But his was an extension, right?
Starting point is 00:31:33 Yeah, OG was an extension. No, what was Brunson's? I believe, hold on the same. As I'm saying, so his money didn't, did his money kick in last year or was at the end of the deal for the first year? It was an extension as well, so let me, I'll tell you when the bread is coming in. So he sold, I think it kicks in this year. Got me out here like, do you how this is it?
Starting point is 00:31:55 Yeah, they usually negotiate two years before. Yeah. So they pay how much, O.G., 200? So they think Brunson might have kicked in last year, if I'm not mistaken. They paid a lot of it. Not if it's 2024, he signed an extension. 24, 25, 25, 26, 26, I don't know. Yeah, it'd be this shit in the first year.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 40, 83, but... No, I don't know. The math, not mapping. Y'all got Josiah doing a lot of shit. Thank you, Frank. I think it was last year, because you got a player option. I told y'all didn't know already, shut the... I don't shut the fuck up already.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Like, Dougie Hauser. Man. So back in the day, Two thousand. Wait, so it's beginning with the 25, 26 season. So last season was the first year of the season. Okay. And there's three more left with the player option.
Starting point is 00:32:47 So you know I relish these moments and enjoy it five days a week. He took that deal for OG to get his money. O.G. O.G cashed out in that 24. And... And... And then McElbredges got his four-year 150. See?
Starting point is 00:33:01 Four-year 150. But that was different all times. But back to these Minnesota. Why Amber Wolves? I like him, man Yeah, I think they're I want to look at their schedule now To see what the possibility
Starting point is 00:33:14 I think the playing style fits their youth Like I said before I think everybody game Kind of opens up Because of the style of play You got You got the ultimate playmaker in Lamello You got
Starting point is 00:33:25 The ultimate scoring guard Slash Playmaker and Ant Then I think you got The best like complimentary pieces That you know Go along them as well Like I said It was a clip of Caminga getting that easy roll to the basket.
Starting point is 00:33:40 I think that's going to be something that's almost unstoppable. Gobert, I think his scoring is going to go up. This might be his most efficient year. His best scoring numbers, just getting easy dunks to the basket. And they're going to be able to get him the ball in positions to where he doesn't have to make a move or doesn't have to make an extra dribble, just catching and finishing, which I think is his strength. So I think all the pieces complement each other.
Starting point is 00:34:05 And then like you said, Swat, you got a phone's highland coming off with the energy on the bench. You also got IEO coming off the bench as well. So that two-guard combination is going to be super exciting as well. And also the scoring punch, they'll need to extend leads or even gain leads in game. So I think they've addressed every need that the team, you know, was looking to address in the offseason. And overall, I just think they're a completely better team. They're one of the teams in the West that I would say improved from last year to this year and had, I would say, overall successful off-season.
Starting point is 00:34:45 So I think they had the best off-season out of any team. I mean, maybe except for Philly, who just picked up everything. But as far as fit, knee, and just improving the team, I would say there's... Philly them... Philly them... Miami? I mean, yeah. Yonis Clem?
Starting point is 00:35:05 I mean, you pick up a Yonnas. You just pick up Yonnas. Goddain. But. Gendry not too bad. They're going to be top six with summer. But I'll get Dante DiVincenzo back, too, for the wolves later. Much later. They got a squat.
Starting point is 00:35:21 They got a squat. Man. I'm learning about the, they got the other French kid behind. Barron Jay? Yeah. They're saying that he's the future, so it seems like they got a lot of things in place. I mean, shit. A friend?
Starting point is 00:35:35 You got guys like Kat and 80 out there that's trying to figure out their situations, I mean. If you really looking to improve the wolves. No. Why are all these French big men taking on the... You may see Kat back in with the Timberwood. All France is big. But all these French big men taking all the American big man jobs.
Starting point is 00:35:54 You all are cool with it? Who? I mean, all. It's only two, my motherfuckers. You got Sard, Wimby. No, no, no. Most of it is. Big French.
Starting point is 00:36:01 All these big French were fucking just coming through. A little kid from Atlanta. Wee, we. Zachari Ries-A-Shae is on the Mavs now. Vakalini. Yeah, he's... They just forgot about him, huh? Y'all don't bring him up, man.
Starting point is 00:36:12 You talk about French people. No, you don't talk about number one picks? That got to be the quietest number one. That's never heard. No, no, no. Because it was too busy bashing body for being 55th. I mean, that's true. Duh.
Starting point is 00:36:27 That's so good. That's the number one, two pick all just walk. Oh, well, you right about that? that that was somebody. That they're going to Brody and your amen, appreciate you. Taking that pressure off me.
Starting point is 00:36:42 They said he got drafted. They said they had a during the day of the draft there was a Gucci concert. So they had a Gucci concert in the arena when the draft happened. They said after the concert they just left.
Starting point is 00:36:58 Instead of saying, it was like, what's this? Who's this? That's crazy. Lemonade. That's crazy. Yeah, he's just, yeah. That is the quietest number one.
Starting point is 00:37:11 No, for real. Guard, is it guard? That's not really athletic. How did he go number one? When you work out by yourself, you can look real good. You know what's crazy? I remember when the kid got drafted and Frank Mason. Frank Mason said he played him overseas.
Starting point is 00:37:30 He was like, I don't see how this is a number one pick. That's crazy I mean shit Anthony Bennett name Ring louder than his And I mean the games But a lot of people says Star should have been
Starting point is 00:37:44 Yeah somebody was done at the 5 They were good Anthony Bennett Yeah they got him up out of there Seven games he was done Number one big bro Shut it down Shut it down
Starting point is 00:37:56 Get him out of here No G league Nothing Get out of here Man man Damn Tough. That's tough.
Starting point is 00:38:06 All you can do is work out. You know what I mean? That's all you can do is just work out and then they draft you. Bro. Nobody's like, no, no, no, no. I'm not really a number one big. I'm more like 15. Nobody's doing that.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Damn. Because you know, you know, you know when you plan to get somebody, who's that? You know, your love of the game going to carry you through that. Oh, yeah. You know if you're just wigggin' up eating, hi-bye. It's going to be all right. As long as you got love for the game, he's going to be honest.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Guess he didn't have the love. You see how crazy that shit sounds? Yes, he didn't have the love. That's all I said for him. Yes, he didn't have the love. That's why I just bust it out. Damn, that's tough. Go, Joe.
Starting point is 00:38:54 No, thank you, Gil. We've been working together a long time. I've been on Indeed.com looking for other jobs. I have some really good options coming, too. May need a new vocation. I've been going to Bible study. Kind of remind me of the clippers traffic. I don't want to do it.
Starting point is 00:39:13 A little bit. That's the man, Illinois. Who Keene Wagler? Hey, what? I didn't see it, bro. You've been really, I'm on the, you know what I'm on the fence. I'm dead on the fence. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:25 I've seen him when they're playing in Houston. I didn't think he was a good pick for the Clippers. That's what I'm saying. But as a talent, I think he got Tyler. Big ass combo guard. See, that's what it is. It's a combo. Like, I'm, when I'm, when I'm, when I, when I, when I, when I, when I,
Starting point is 00:39:36 watched them against USC and I'm like, like, he was chilling. I didn't think it was a good thing. Like, what do you do? Like, everybody around you is actually pro, so you have an advantage over everybody else because these are Europro that can flat out shoot. So this is not a bunch of college 19-year-olds.
Starting point is 00:39:56 So you're doing pick-a-roll. They know how to play this game, so you're going to look real good. So I'm trying to figure out what your thing is, are you a point guard or you're shooting guard? Right, and that was my thing with it. What you call the Mello? Lamello? He's a pure point.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Who? Yeah, Leamelebone. Pure point. I would call him a big-ass combo. No, I'm just saying he's a pure point. He's a big playmaking combo. He gets that. My motherfucker can average 30 and at Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:40:30 That's a combo guard. Like, if I'm looking at. What's Luca to you? A big-ass combo. A play-making combo. Yeah. Like She is a combo. Like Luca and them are more point guardish.
Starting point is 00:40:45 They can just score, they can just score like a... But like, Shea is a... He's more of a shooting guard that's playing point. I can play point. But I can put... I'm going to put this thing in the basket. I'm never trying to have tennis says,
Starting point is 00:40:59 I don't need to do that. Right. I'm going to make my passes, but... My gift is putting that ball in that basket, and that's what I'm going to do. Right. Like, with him is like, he can shoot. Can shoot that thing good?
Starting point is 00:41:12 It's like, like, now you got to put a team around them. that fits his style. So you, I guess, treat him like how you treated Steph a little bit, maybe? He's shooting it like that? He has that. He has that. He's not, like, yeah. He's not like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Yeah, he's not like, Trey Young, like, guardish. Like, you know what I only seen him twice. Like, you know, he's not a Trey game and a little bit in the tournament. Yeah, he's more like, he's more. He was chilling, like, host, you know, when you're that good, when you already know you good. And he has a, he has a slum. Yeah, that's why I was like, man. I hate that cool, who.
Starting point is 00:41:50 I hate that cool. I hate cool. I hate cool. I can't stand it. Last world's related question. Then we're going to move on. Will Lamello, Ant become the most exciting perimeter tandem in the league this season? Yes.
Starting point is 00:42:03 They already have that distinction? See? See? Another language you want to say? Ten and sis? What? How many again? I didn't hear the question.
Starting point is 00:42:12 I didn't worry about. I said, will Lamello and Nant? I wasn't fucking with you. What I say? You said, you started doing this shit. I'll answer his question. So how was I messing with you? That's how you did me back in there, see?
Starting point is 00:42:24 Just type him on the shoulder swaggy. We'll get him out of here. What's the question? I said, well, Lamello and become the most exciting perimeter tandem in the league this season? Oh, yes. Easy? Easy money? Posito. Positas, okay.
Starting point is 00:42:37 Hey, very bueno. I can see. You know, what's another one? I mean. A combo? I think. I think John Dane could be exciting. Man, I'm...
Starting point is 00:42:49 Possible. I mean, I don't have to ask how I will work. But if it never worked, it could be exciting. That coached. The fact that that's the thought process, I'm done with you. He's one of those... You got Maxie, Edgecombe, and you got some... Like...
Starting point is 00:43:03 It's gonna be hard for Maxine and Edgecombe because it'll be overshadowed about... Don't sleep on Tyrese Maxis. And my favorite Bahamian, V, J. You don't think Luca A.R? Like, and the fact that, like, the fact that, like, Yeah, but I'm just saying, but the fact that you're like, wait, hold on. No, I said yes. But I'm thinking about the fact that job has to just, he can't be a job.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Yeah, he can't be job. Because of the stuff that he's bringing with him knowing damn well. Like, you mean, like come off the bench? For who? Got the hottest shoe in the man. I start looking around for who? Which one? He can't, though, because that's.
Starting point is 00:43:37 Play the ones. He can't, though, because you know. Play the ones. They can't wait through this talk about it. Yeah, the politics. Yeah. Like, you think his defense that good? Check up.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Let me show you what this is, but, you know, he has to play the politics. That's fucked up. John does have the hottest shooting the guy. Yeah, Nike bought to have that nigga fired. Yeah. Like, I'm over here looking, like, off the bench. Is this a situation where Jai gonna be there long term? I can see it.
Starting point is 00:44:11 He might be there for a good time. If I'm, if you're not a long time. the first time you mentioned me coming off the bench. But that could hurt. No injury, no nothing. I'll check that already. That's crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Yeah, I'm saying anything you want to hear now. But that's the only thing. It can hurt job, like, with trade value, too. Nah, trade value only hurt the people that's trying to get something for me. That's it. Yeah, yeah. Just sit me here. Whatever you get back for me, when I get to the new destination,
Starting point is 00:44:42 goddamn it, I get to be John Marant. Why isn't Orlando trying to get a John Moran right? Huh? Because they got Anthony and North Black. What is his money situation? Is it like? No, he's got a pretty pretty reasonable contract. No.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Contract is very, very tradable. I think, I think, I think Miami's going to make a run for him. I think Pat Riley's going to make a run for him. What I hope I say? In Brooklyn. Brooklyn. Do you want to go to Brooklyn? Yeah, I go anywhere.
Starting point is 00:45:21 I don't want to win. I don't want to win. And I'd be forgetting Brooklyn even the teams. No, but what I'm saying is, I don't need to win. This is by Alan Iverson. Put everybody in the seats. Just carry your back, sign you the max. We ain't got to win.
Starting point is 00:45:33 I know everybody going to be filled up. Shit, that's with Portland, dude. All right, sure. Let's keep this thing moving. Time to try and finesse some bread on Polymarket. This is Put That on Something. We're going to give you a trade on the Polymarket app, and you got to pick aside and put that on something.
Starting point is 00:45:48 I was right yesterday. to the trade. I got Falcons. Y'all both pick the Saints. I picked the Saints. They lost. They got their ass whoop. No, no, I picked the Saints to lose. That's what I'm saying. I can never win with this motherfucker. So, shout out to Polly Market. Some great trading
Starting point is 00:46:06 going on. We got to start the squads on Polly Market so we can keep track of all this stuff. But Timberwolves finished six in the West last season, the record of 49 and 33 before pulling the first round upset on the Nuggets, then losing to the eventual Western Conference Champion Spurs in the second round. But let's take a look at the Wolf's 2027 win.
Starting point is 00:46:26 48? Oh my God. The Newark Wolf's projected to win 48 games in season. 65% of traders thinking they'll hit that mark. 65% of traders don't believe in the Wyoming. Hey, hey. Let's take it to the couch. You got the count, right? Hmm?
Starting point is 00:46:40 You got the count, right? Yeah, put some money on that. With the count or what? Which I've been doing? Gil, I'm my host. No, what I'm saying, the account, the polymark. I have a polymark. I'm putting the baby on it.
Starting point is 00:46:51 I'm putting our child on it. If we have a child, the firstborn, going to the thing. You can't trade children on a polymarket game. How about the rights? It's a trading. I have no parts of that. No, like the rights, I can get my rights up. So you automatically get you automatically the age.
Starting point is 00:47:09 You automatically get your rights up. You already gave your rights up to mail it. Neither here nor there, but will the Newark Wills win more than 48 games this season? I don't know. I'm shitting them up. Boogie, 48 games. game. I'm going to go yes.
Starting point is 00:47:22 But you said yes to 48 games, at least 48 games. Swaghy, do you think that Wyandberwolves will win at least 48 games this season? Yeah, I'm going to say yes. Fecito. Fossito? Yes. Yes. Yes.

Starting point is 00:48:58 $900, man. $900, man. $900. He went involved some $900 shades, man. And one of our teammates broke it, put their nuts on it. Boy. The Balenciaga is it from an armistaki? He broke them.
Starting point is 00:49:12 Well, his balls on. Damn. Boy. Gil started. I'd never see someone snap. and go ape in my life. Full baboon. Ain't gonna be no brick.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Try good. A rookie team. Like the spurt their train? You know how you see someone laugh all the time? Man. Or the ape came out. He goes, oh, my,
Starting point is 00:49:41 ah! It took about 10 niggins to hold him down. Boy, we're trying to have to put him to sleep. Boy, it was too strong. Boy, that ape strength. What is this? As always you starting it though. Did you start eating?

Starting point is 00:50:19 Which two teams need a guard from Portland the most? Which two teams need a guard from Portland the most? I would say, Houston, depending on how Fred Van Fleet looks coming off of Andrew. Orlando. I mean, we just kind of spoke about Orlando. They do got a good young guard in black, but I think we'll know more this year how they look. Because I believe they are starting black this year, right? Black, I mean, it's hard to, but...
Starting point is 00:50:52 Him and it sucks. James. Yeah. So I would say those two groups. Always been in black. A New Orleans. I would say the whole Florida, really. The whole Florida.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Miami. Yeah. I like Davian Mitchell, though. They usually had that defensive guard at the point. Yeah. Boston. Damn, for sure. Who's Boston's guard?
Starting point is 00:51:19 Pritchie. Payton Pritcher, right? He could be a point. You start? Derek White. He could be the senior. Derek White. That's my using my shooting guard.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Yeah, who's my point guard over there? Pat Pat Richards. He starts now. He started last year with Brown. At times they shifted over the bench, right now, the ESPN has the projected starters, Derek White, Baylor, Shireman, Paul George, Jason Tatum, and Keda.
Starting point is 00:51:44 So, Derek Warren has to be the point. But Payton Pritchard has operated, I think thrives more than that six-man role. That's how I say. Shireman? Shireman. It is Boston. I'm picking Boston. They need a point guard.
Starting point is 00:51:57 Okay. All right. Put Deer White back at a shooting guard. Let him do his name. All right. Keep him moving. He's stuck in that. We got a comment from West.
Starting point is 00:52:08 Y.T. Y.T. said, Boogie, just know that as a Lakers fan always viewed you as a Laker caliber player, hope that you came to the Lakers after coached. Kobe's Achilles tear, he would have given you the keys all the game and maybe played three to five more years. Just a comment. I was on the Lakers, bro. But after Kobe's earlier years ago.
